Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, and in particular to a logistics and transportation vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The development of logistics has brought various conveniences to consumers. However, after arriving at the destination, goods still need to be unloaded before reaching the warehouse or the intended recipient. Existing handcarts for moving goods mainly include trolleys and flatbed carts. Trolleys are very convenient for both moving and turning, but because they are tilted, they are only suitable for moving small items. Flatbed carts are often used to transport large items. When using them, people place the large items on the flatbed cart and push it forward. To enable turning, casters are usually installed at the bottom of the flatbed cart. Changing the direction of the casters requires strong pushing from the user. However, flatbed carts are often piled with a large number of goods, causing significant pressure on the casters and making it very difficult to change direction.

[0003] This utility model aims to provide a logistics transport vehicle that can be easily turned and reduces physical burden. Utility Model Content

[0025] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] This utility model aims to provide a logistics transport vehicle that can be easily turned and reduces physical burden.

[0027] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a side view of the logistics transport vehicle according to the first embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the bottom structure of the logistics transport vehicle according to the first embodiment of this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in (a), this embodiment of the present invention provides a logistics transport vehicle 100, comprising: a platform 1, with a handrail 2 provided at one end of the upper part of the platform 1, and an even number of fixed pulleys 4 provided at the bottom end of the platform 1 near the handrail 2, the even number of fixed pulleys 4 being symmetrical with respect to the center line of the platform 1; a steering wheel module 3, which is disposed at the bottom of the platform 1, on the center line of the platform 1, at the bottom end of the platform 1 opposite to the handrail 2, and pivotally connected to a pivot 11 on the bottom of the platform 1 to allow the steering wheel module 3 to rotate relative to the pivot 11; a wheel housing 31 of the steering wheel module 3 is pivotally connected to the pivot 11, and a rotating shaft 32 of the steering wheel module 3 is fixedly connected to the wheel housing 31; a first steering handle 5 is also connected to the wheel housing 31 of the steering wheel module 3, the first steering handle 5 extending to the location of the handrail 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the steering wheel module 3 is a single omnidirectional wheel. Therefore, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a fixed pulley 33 is provided inside the wheel housing 31, and the wheel housing 31 is pivotally connected to the pivot 11, forming the basic structure of a swivel wheel. A first steering handle 5 is also connected to the wheel housing 31. In use, as... Figure 2 As shown, when the swivel wheels are difficult to turn, the user can step on the first steering handle 5 and control it to change the direction of the swivel wheels. In practical use of existing technology, the swivel wheels are sometimes very difficult to turn due to the heavy load on the flatbed truck. In this embodiment of the invention, the user controls the first steering handle 5 with their foot, thereby controlling the direction of the swivel wheels. The force of the foot is much greater than that of the hand, and the force can be directly applied to the swivel wheels themselves through the first steering handle 5, thus greatly facilitating the change of the swivel wheels' direction.

[0029] Even so, when the cargo is heavy, the casters may sometimes have difficulty turning. In such cases, you can use... Figure 3 The method is shown. The user can press down firmly on the armrest 2, causing the platform to tilt slightly. All the pressure on the vehicle then concentrates on the rear fixed pulley 4, while the pressure on the steering wheel module 3 is greatly reduced. At this point, the user can easily steer the swivel wheels by controlling the first steering handle 5 with their foot. Figure 3 In the method shown, the vehicle plate 1 only needs to be slightly raised to reduce the pressure on the steering wheel module 3, thereby facilitating rotation; therefore Figure 3 The degree of upward tilt shown is somewhat exaggerated.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first foot pedal 51 is provided at the end of the first steering handle 5, which makes it convenient for the user to apply force by foot.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second steering handle 6 is provided on the side of the wheel housing 31 opposite to the first steering handle 5, and the second steering handle 6 extends to the other end of the platform 1 opposite to the armrest 2. Therefore, the second steering handle 6 is shorter and closer to the steering wheel module 3. When steering is still difficult using the first steering handle 5, steering force can be applied to the steering wheel module 3 by stepping on the second steering handle 6. Since the second steering handle 6 is closer to the steering wheel module 3, it is relatively easier to exert force. The disadvantage is that the user must walk around from the armrest end to the front of the platform, or another person can provide assistance at the front of the platform. To facilitate the application of force by foot, a second foot pedal 61 can be provided at the end of the second steering handle 6.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a fan-shaped bridge 7 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle platform 1, along its centerline, and the first steering handle 5 passes through the fan-shaped bridge 7. Because the first steering handle 5 is relatively long, the fan-shaped bridge 7 provides support for it. The fan-shaped bridge 7 is suspended and fixed to the bottom of the vehicle platform 1. Therefore, when the first steering handle 5 passes through the fan-shaped bridge 7, its rotation angle range is also constrained by the fan-shaped bridge 7. Furthermore, damping material for increasing friction is provided on the fan-shaped bridge 7, and damping material for increasing friction is also provided on the part of the bottom of the first steering handle 5 that contacts the fan-shaped bridge 7. This is done to increase friction for the rotation of the first steering handle 5, making the orientation of the steering wheel module 3 relatively stable and preventing the rotation angle from changing too easily; adjustments can then be made manually when necessary.

[0033] Figure 4 The diagram shown is a side view of the logistics transport vehicle according to the second embodiment of this utility model. Figure 5 The diagram shows the bottom structure of the logistics transport vehicle according to the second embodiment of this utility model. In the second embodiment, the steering wheel module 3 is no longer a single omnidirectional wheel, but rather has multiple fixed pulleys 33 fixed inside the wheel housing 31. The distribution of the multiple fixed pulleys 33 inside the wheel housing 31 is arranged in a regular polygonal pattern. By setting multiple fixed pulleys 33, the weight can be better distributed, avoiding the concentration of weight on one wheel; the regular polygonal distribution makes the weight distribution more even. The increased size of the steering wheel module 3 also makes the orientation of the wheel housing 31 more stable, preventing the rotation angle from changing too easily.

[0034] The logistics vehicle provided by this utility model does not require manual pushing force; the force is directly applied to the steering wheel module itself, enabling convenient steering and reducing physical burden.
